Hybrid drive stuff has been around a while. It works OK up to a very limited point, then it performs like a regular drive. No voodoo magic is going to cache an entire multi-terabyte drive on a tiny expensive SSD. You might boot your OS quicker and have some limited applications perform well but it is strictly limited.
Let me disable your CPU cache and see if you think it was useful or not. After all, a few megabytes of RAM can't cache all the gigabytes in the system, can it? It will be very limited, only a few limited applications will benefit.
And if you think about it, that actually would make an interesting premise. Take a guy off the street who doesn't understand science very well, tell him you'll pay him a bunch to go to the moon (or mars... mars one reality show anyone?) for 3 years, stick him in a box with some rocket noises, give him some handwavium technobabble during his "training" that explains why he won't feel the gravity difference (assuming your citizen of average intelligence even understands there would be a gravity difference), stress the fact that he'll die if he goes outside without his space suit on, and I bet you could trick someone for quite a bit of time.

it steals the owner's ability to use the device. i don't need to move your car to prevent you using it.
Not a bad thing when you in a neighborhood full of criminals who'll steal that car and use it for crime a couple of days after you bought it.
If Linux is so secure, then why is it being exploited in this case,
'Linux' isn't being exploited, the crappy applications people wrote to run on Linux are.
Any app that accepts incoming data from the internet can be vulnerable to buffer overflows, etc.
Apps written by the cheapest available people in a 3rd world country? Doubly so.

It seems fairly limited to me. Only Intel CPUs, only Windows 10, special drivers needed.
I was hoping for something with a SATA connector on each end.
Connect one end to the motherboard. Connect the other end to a hard drive. Power on. See a speedup.
*THAT* would have sold millions. This? Not so much.
It's not difficult: The owner of an "unsubscribe" service shouldn't be selling anything except unsubscriptions.
100% of his customers are against people selling their info, by definition.
He deserves all he gets.
In what way is that a "car"?
eg. Where do the kids/shopping go? If it rains you'll get wet.
Either that or nobody uses C# outside of cubicle farms. C is used for fun things, at home.
Apparently C++ isn't used at all. By anybody.
I saw their video, curious, no test pilot. Why?
Cheaper.
It's propelled by a jet of air. It's jet propelled. It's a jet engine.
And wheatgrass.
Yes, that stuff that cows eat and humans can't digest.
It suggests a link.
No it doesn't. It's just some dweeb massaging a dataset until he gets the results he was after.
It's not even that. This is just another "study" by somebody with an agenda against sweeteners.
There's no data, no evidence, just a guy manipulating numbers with excel until he finds a result he likes.
LOL!
I feel the same about Star Wars.
How many people walked out of Star Wars saying "These are not the drones you're looking for!" to each other?

Like this?

And it isn't like you would accept any evidence that proved you wrong.
Why don't you actually try that and see if it's true?
Which part of your 'logic' means it's OK to dump billions of tons of CO2 into the air every year?
What makes you think that they haven't produced reports stating what proportion of the CO2 in the atmosphere comes from what source.
The people shouting "Where's the proof?" loudest are the people least likely to actually look at the proof if you give it to them.
Good or bad, what proof is there, this is indeed "human-caused"?
It's not like you intend to read it.
Oh, I forgot:

And you can bet EVERY advertising dweeb out there is going to try to do the same.
Welcome to your future, voice activated device owners.
I, for one, will be laughing out loud at you.
I wonder how much "smartphone rehab" costs?
(as opposed, to, I dunno, just smashing/shooting the phone in front of them if the first couple of talks/slaps don't work)
The numbers may be clear but the test itself is complete bollocks.
The test is 'watching video in Vimeo'. Any efficiency is down to the video codec, not the "browser".
If you think your computer will go three hours longer when you're just generally surfing the web then you're WRONG.
